GARMENT DISPLAY DEVICE Maria Aichberger, Vienna, Austria, assignor to Mathias Aichberger, Vienna, Austria Application May 4, 1950, Serial No. 159,940 In Austria May 11, 1949 2 Claims.

This invention relates to display devices and "has the object to provide a simple device for the three-dimensional display of garments, especially of ladies undergarments and bathing suits, without the need of display forms.

It is another object of this invention to provide a display device which permits of effectively draping an und-ergarment to be displayed, such as a shirt, etc., without damaging the fabric.

An embodiment of the invented display device is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a front elevation;

Fig. 2 a side elevation; and

Fig. 3 a plan view.

With reference to the drawings the invented display device comprises a wooden part A to which the two metal parts to be specified hereinafter are fixed, and the two shoulder strap carriers B for displaying the shoulder straps with beautiful effect and shortening them by their curvature. These shoulder strap carriers have the shape of an open loop and extend from the back of the part A on both sides upward and outward at an angle to a vertex and thence in a curve forward and downward to their free ends, where they are provided with two bores which, being invisible to the viewer, serve for fastening the straps of the garments by means of two pins.

Moreover, the shoulder-strap carriers have bores near the central portion for fastening the whole device to a wall by means of two additional pins so that undergarments may be displayed three-dimensionally in show cases in a most simple manner.

A horizontal piece of wire C imitates in a manner known per se the female bust and gives a three-dimensional appearance to an undergarment or bathing suit regardless from what direction it is looked upon.

The wooden part A has at its lower end portion two lateral notches which enable the undergarment to be draped below the bust without any need for pins but by means of a metal ring, elastic band, or silk thread, or the like.

A screw D is passed through the part A, and a round bar E, having an annular end, can be stuck on said screw and fixed with a wing nut F. This rod can be stuck into any of the conventional pedestals.

What I claim is:

1. Device for three-dimensional display of garments, comprising when viewed in front eleva tion a supporting member having two lateral garment suppor-ting notches, two shoulder strap carriers of straplike material, and a piece of wire shaped to support the garment bosom, each of said carriers consisting of a substantially straight portion and an adjacent open loop portion, the free end of said straight portion being fastened to the back of the supporting member, the straight portion extending from there upwardly and outwardly, the loop portion extending forwardly and downwardly and terminating intermediate of the vertex of the strap carrier and the supporting member, the free end portion of the loop being provided with bores for fastening the straps of the garment to be displayed, said piece of wire lying in a substantially horizontal plane and having its ends attached to the supporting member.

2. In the device according to claim 1, each of said straight portions being provided with a bore for fastening the device to a wall.
